Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

When to call us in North Hinksey

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners

Choosing a repair company

North Hinksey: your questions answered

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What affects the price in North Hinksey

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
